That's not all but Sony also announced a variant of Xperia Z1, dubbed Xperia Z1s. Though, we would've expected the Japanese giant Sony to release the device outside USA.

Apart from Sony, Chinese tech vendor ZTE has come with its high-end offering, the Grand SII. The device will hit the Chinese market first, followed by India sometime later this year with modified hardware.

Next comes, Huawei's Ascend Mate 2 4G LTE, which was unveiled at this year's CES. You might want to expect the handset to India in August time frame.

Here are the top phones announced at just concluded CES 2014. Take a look!

Meet Xperia Z1 Compact, a high-end Android-powered phone featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 powered quad-core processor and 20.7MP camera in a compact form. The device is equivalent to its older siblings, the Xperia Z1 and newly introduced Xperia Z1s, in respect to hardware. The only difference is the size and a 4.3-inch 720p HD display. It is to be seen whether Sony would able to stop Apple in selling less iPhone 5S. Analysts have started predicting comparisons between the Apple iPhone 5S and Sony Xperia Z1 Compact.

While the original Ascend Mate 2 was launched at an effective price of Rs. 24,999, but it was a commercial failure due to poor marketing. Though, the device was decent enough, if not brilliant. This year Huawei is looking to tap younger generation once again with second generation Ascend Mate 2. The 4G LTE enabled phone comes with a large battery at 4050mAh. The specifications are more-or-less unchanged. The 6.1-inch HD quad-core phablet will face tough competition from Nokia's recently launched Lumia 1320.
